Spiritual Workout
Start by warming up daily
with hands lifted in praise.
Running and jumping in
place as the spirit moves.

Drop and give God sixty
Sixty minutes in prayer that is!
This work out is especially good
for the heart as it will strengthen
and bring about eternal life.

Endurance training begins with walking
the straight...

Premium Member Watery Workout
Flippers up
  Flippers down
Wave those flippers 
  All around

Swish your tail
  From side to side
Create a wake
  A water slide

Take a plunge
  Dive down deep
Your body propelled
  As up you leap

Hey, Sea Lion
  Clap your hands
When you perform

The Workout In Rhyme
I was on a machine
Working out – burning steam
As the “Calories Burnt” numbers grows
When this pretty young thing
Turns around – my eyes sting
As her nipples in tight t-shirt shows

Well, I drift off sometime
Lost in space – lost in mind
When this pretty young lady walks past
Then...

Workout
Panting and puffing I’m feeling the burn
Even though I’ve done only a minute
This machine is the work of the devil I’m sure
Oh god, I think I might vomit

I’m treading the mill to try and get fit
But I think this thing’s going to kill me
My bosom...

Premium Member A Good Workout Makes For a Great Eucharistic Warm Up
Experts recommend warming up before exercising to adequately prepare the body and get the most benefit from the workout

The same applies to our participation in Mass....

Premium Member The Workout
I was working out on the elliptical machine in the gym, feeling good and watching 
the "Calories Burnt" number climb higher and higher.

Then, I noticed a rather shapely and attractive woman step off of the machine two 
rows in front of me.  As she...

Lyrical Workout
I'm just going to have some fun and talk my nonsense
Get offended if you want because everyone takes everything out of Context
You don't want to battle me in a lyrical contest
I rhyme better and I've got great style
If I'd have wrote for him, Papa Doc...

First Workout of the Year
Summer’s over so here we go again,
from treadmill to the stationary bike,
no exercised since who knows when,
hard to get started but has to be right.

A few stretches to get the kinks out,
to the treadmill increasing the pace,
body hurting wanting to cry or shout,
you rather be...

I stare where he once stood
Shocked he is here no more
I wait to see him at the door
But hope has done no good 

Where is the love he once swore was mine
This day each year he'd hold me through the eve
Thoughts of when we wed...

Premium Member Working Out Isn't Working Out
I used to like barbells, enjoyed pumping iron,
   my Nautilus* gym was one happy environ.
Those posters of 6-packs and marbled biceps
   inspired me to start counting carbs, pounds, and reps.

My trainer would coax, "hold as long as you can!"
